Police in Lyon try and calm the crowd

BT Sport commentator Jonathan Pearce is at the stadium and said: "We still have no word of a kick-off time but Lyon president Jean Michel Aulas has gone into the crowd to try and calm the situation. He looks emotional.

“The electronic board in the stadium stadium says that the kick-off will be 'in a few minutes'."

And now Lyon claim the game will go ahead with players set to begin their warm-ups shortly.

Besiktas have tweeted: "In Lyon, the teams came on the field, players gentleman's images. The football match will begin shortly. Achievements"

There was trouble in the city of Lyon earlier today and it is believed Besiktas fans began the fighting in the stadium and were throwing fireworks towards the Lyon supporters.
